High-yield dividend stocks can be a red flag, but not always. Four companies in the S&P 500 offer huge dividends.

5 S&P 500 Stocks That Pay a Generous Dividend

Reframing from "What to buy?" to "What to sell?" I take an alternative look at Altria Group, Philip Morris International, and British American Tobacco. I will show which of the three companies has the least strong brand portfolio, the most opaque future prospects, and the weakest profitability. I will discuss the quality of the companies' balance sheets, also considering the value of the more or less hidden assets on the balance sheets of Altria and British American.

British American, Altria And Philip Morris - Which One Stands Out As The Weakest?

British American Tobacco

Comparing British American Tobacco and Altria reveals no clear winner; the most suitable choice depends on the factors you prioritize. I consider Altria to be the slightly better choice for those seeking to combine dividend income and dividend growth, due to the company's higher Dividend Yield and Dividend Growth Rates. However, British American Tobacco has the moderately lower Valuation, and I consider it to be the superior choice when looking for an option to reduce portfolio volatility.

Altria's investors experienced pain in recent years as the traditional tobacco industry is facing severe secular headwinds. How MO's management addresses secular challenges makes me optimistic about the ability to sustain stellar profitability and shareholder-friendly capital allocation policy.

Altria: Don't Miss Out The 9.5% Dividend Yield

I've been reducing my exposure to tobacco stocks, including Altria, due to concerns about fundamental trends and the company's poor track record in capital management. I believe that the decline in tobacco sales, combined with the company's lack of growth prospects, makes it a less attractive investment compared to other options. I suggest considering alternative investments such as REITs, which offer competitive returns and are not dependent on tobacco products.
